It claims the gym initially defended the man rather than addressing her concerns, later revoked her membership for an unspecified \u201cpolicy violation,\u201d and police were called when she returned to use the remaining membership and sought a refund. The article also alleges that her cancellation paperwork was submitted without her authorization and that her signature may have been forged.<\/p>\n<p>It further states that Planet Fitness permits use of locker rooms based on \u201cself<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-arrested-after-allegedly-stripping-naked-in-planet-fitness-womens-locker-room-while-claiming-to-be-a-woman\/\" title=\"A ... was arrested for ...ly undressing in the women&#039;s ... at ..., identifying as a wo...\">-reported gender identity<\/a>,\u201d and argues this policy leaves women unable to opt out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/volleyball-girls-banned-from-locker-room-for-refusing-to-change-in-front-of-boy-masquerading-as-girl\/\" title=\"Volleyball Girls Banned From ...

I feel like I live in an upside-down land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That may be the most accurate description of modern corporate culture anyone has offered in recent memory.<\/p>\n<p>Planet Fitness openly states on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetfitness.com\/about-planet-fitness\/customer-service#region-faq-accordion-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> that members may use locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms based on \u201cself-reported gender identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That means any pervert who claims to be a woman can <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >enter intimate female spaces inside<\/a> the company\u2019s gyms.<\/p>\n<p>Women are expected to accept that they do not matter, and if they object, they will be punished.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Planet Fitness has landed in controversy over this policy. In 2024, a woman from Alaska named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/media\/planet-fitness-value-plummets-transgender-turmoil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Patricia Silva<\/a> lost her membership after she reported seeing a man in the women\u2019s locker room while young girls were present.<\/p>\n<p>The company <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/03\/22\/business\/planet-fitness-assigns-staffer-to-assist-transgender-client-in-womens-locker-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">defended<\/a> its transgender policy and punished Silva for recording a video inside the facility.<\/p>\n<p>In Michigan, Yvette Cormier had her membership <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/Health\/planet-fitness-revokes-womans-membership-transgender-complaint\/story?id=29465983\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revoked<\/a> after warning other women about the gym\u2019s policy following an encounter with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/victorias-secret-announces-new-version-of-fashion-show-after-4-year-hiatus\/\" title=\"Victoria\u2019s Secret Announces \u2018New Version\u2019 Of Fashion Show After 4 Year Hiatus\">transgender-identifying man<\/a> in the women\u2019s locker room.<\/p>\n<p>Again, the company sided with the man.<\/p>\n<p>Even more disturbing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/inevitable-result-letting-men-womens-spaces-trans-gymgoer-caught-touching-planet-fitness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another viral case<\/a> involved a woman confronting a transgender-identifying man she said was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/listen2tish\/status\/2008403943488098401\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">masturbating<\/a> in a women\u2019s bathroom and locker room area.<\/p>\n<p>Every time a woman is made to feel violated in one of its locations, Planet Fitness keeps doubling down.<\/p>\n<p>Liberals spend endless amounts of time discussing abortion, transgenderism, illegal immigrants\u2019 rights, and every other fashionable activist cause under the sun.<\/p>\n<p>What they never discuss are the rights of ordinary Americans \u2014 and specifically the rights of women who do not want men in their changing rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Planet Fitness has built its brand around being a \u201cJudgment Free Zone.\u201d Apparently, that only applies if you agree with management\u2019s woke politics.<\/p>\n<p>How this company remains in business is beyond me, but Planet Fitness will go on pushing this policy until it becomes a financial liability.<\/p>\n<p>I personally canceled my membership with them in 2024 over this same issue. But what can one writer do?<\/p>\n<p>This is an issue that affects women, and it will keep affecting women until they start canceling their memberships en masse to send a message.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
